Murray Wood: Tent cities in public spaces are not OK
Murray Wood says we are being told we have to accept homeless encampments in city parks. Do we, really?
Kawhi? More like Ka-who for this season’s Toronto Raptors.
Without Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green — who came and won and then went after last season — the Raptors were supposed to be good but not as good as last year.
Now, they’ve won a franchise-record 12 games and have one more win than they had last year at this time.
Masai Ujiri, now being sought by the New York Knicks, has built a team around the team.
Norm Powell has stepped up big time, Pascal Siakam is turning into the next star and — with a veteran presence from Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka — the Raptors have to again be considered a favourite out of the East.
Add to that the belief they can win after last year’s title, and they have an X factor not many others have in the East.
It’s similar to the Edmonton Oilers without Wayne Gretzky. You don’t need the biggest star, you need the best team.
